The Film: Demolition Man (1993)
What It Predicted: President Arnold Schwarzenegger, who held office before John Spartan (Sly Stallone) was defrosted.
Why We Wish It Hadn't Been Right: Okay, so Schwarzenegger hasn’t made it to the White House and there’s no 61st Amendment to let him do it yet, but a throwaway gag has become a real joke - he's the governor of California.
That's California - where the state’s run out of money and the local government’s locked in an endless battle over budgets - all squabbling like the girly men Movie-Arnie always defeated with such peerless monosyllabism.
It should have been Stallone taking the political route. At least his growth hormone purchases might have stimulated the economy.
The Film: The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy (2005)
What It Predicted: This! The Internet. A user-generated, ever-evolving font of knowledge.
Why We Wish It Hadn't Been Right: Original Hitch-Hiker's creator Douglas Adams was clearly a genius (with the 'Babel Fish', he also predicted portable language translators).
Problem: the film was complete and utter cock.

"Problem: the film was complete and utter c**k." Thanks for that stunning incite. When I figure out what your juvenile (and completely subjective) opinion on the film has to do with the point of this feature I'll be sure to tell you so that you might stop being a sad, little child, who so desperately wants his opinion to be heard. Idiot.

Thanks for that stunning insight (spelling!). When I figure out what your juvenile (and completely subjective) opinion on my final, obviously throwaway comment has to do with the rest of the feature I'll be sure to tell you so that you might stop being a sad little child, who so desperately wants his opinion to be heard. Idiot.

I didn't really understand that comment either. TF gave Hitchhikers' 4 stars anyway so I'm wondering what that was all about?

Hitchhikers... was pretty damn good - among the highlights of the last great summer - 2005. Batman Begins, War of the Worlds, The Descent.
